Screenshots are taken at a 1680 x 1050 resolution using both the new HUD and 256x256 texture pack.

The previous screen shots in my last post were at 1280 x 800 for comparison.

The ship shown is the Starcraft Minoutaur Concept Battlecruiser 1.0 made by m1cr0man.



INSTALLATION:

In the HUD .zip files, you should find a 'image-resource' folder.

Copy the contents of this folder into the directory; Starmade > data > image-resource, and overwrite.

In the Texture pack .zip files, you should find a 'block' folder.

Copy the contents of this folder into the directory; Starmade > data > block, and overwrite.

In the HUD BUNDLE, you will see an 'image-resource' and 'textures' folder.

Overwrite the files of each folder repectively into their conterparts found at Starmade > data



As always, more screenshots and concise information can be found on my blog here,

Kupu.

Original Post:

After looking around for a released texture pack and finding not much, i decided to do it myself.

It's part way done and i plan to finish it for personal use, but having used and loved community mods so often in the past i decided i should probably let others have a look and see. If its something people are interested in i'd be happy to perfect it and release for others to use.

Here's a few images showing the style of texturing,

(these are from my personal blog incase you were wondering about the labels)

 

[Surgical]

This is really well done :D good job

 

[Trex]

Well done well done i think you sir deserve a GG

 

[kupu]

if there is enough interest, i would be happy to polish it all up and release it.

 

[swifthands]

I am very much interested, would you mind releasing it please so we can enjoy this beautiful work you\'ve done?

 

[Florrible]

Is this only for nature or did you simply not do hulls and ship tiems yet? I have to say it\'s looking great so far and if the hull looks just as good, I will probably use it

 

[kupu]

Thanks for the kind words guys.

@Florrible; I\'m currently working on ship textures now, the enviroments were the first i completed. I\'ll be sure to upload some Hull textures and Ship parts for you when i have them ready.

@swifthands; Ok! i\'ll try get them all done and set it up for yourself and others to download.

 

[kupu]

Alright, a little update on the new textures.

Some new Hulls, Salvage Cannons, Anti-Grav\' Cannons, Power Supply / Power Drain beams and Lights.



Quick comparison to see the differences.







From left to right;

Salvage cannon, Auto-repair, Anti - Gravity Cannon, Power Drain Beam, Power Supply Beam.





Tiling of stacked cannon textures**



White Lights.



Standard Hull. Grey + Red.



Standard Hull from distance.



Reinforced Hull; Brown is now Orange.





Lighting blocks.



**If preferred, i can easily add the \"cannon side\" tile to the top and bottom of the block like the original texture.

Really nice work here mate, lovely and clean

I to was hoping for texture packs...

one suggestion: have the brown and orange swap optional

Keep trucking buddy !

 

[Raok]

Looks great, can\'t wait to see it released.

 

[GamingRig]

Nice work here. By the way im a noob so this is the first of a \"anti-grav\" cannon in this game for me. Please explain how to get this in the messages of how im an idot soon after this.

Thank You.

 

[JustSpawned]

Very nice, well done.

[cptmashek]

Whoa, this is awesome! I\'m loving the reinforced textures.

 

[kupu]

Really glad you like it.

@Saber Seven, yes, i will add a few optional textures, as i\'m sure some people would like to stick as close to the original designs as possible. I\'ll keep a brown version and allow the orange as an alternative.

@GamingRig, sorry mate, that was a spelling mistake on my part. I meant the anti-matter cannon. (whoops, guess i\'m the noob eh? ha!)

Thanks for the applause Justspawned. Stops me getting complacent :D



I\'ll be sure to update soon with power blocks and thrusters.

**UPDATE**

Well, as i said...

On with the pictures.











I\'ll update as often as i can! I\'d like to try make this the most user friendly and cohesive texture pack, so if you have any ideas or suggestions, do leave a comment.

 

[Raok]

Well it looks excellent. So far this is looking to be one of the best texture packs for StarMade in my opinion. I like the stylish look that manages to be detailed without looking too \"hyper-realistic\" and uncanny.

 

[cobra234]

i love it and when do you think the download is going to be i love to try this texture pack out keep up the great work

 

[kupu]

Glad you like it Raok!

@Cobra234, I work at sea for lengths of time, so this next week or so will be slower progress than normal. I do aim to finish this within 2 weeks from now though. I\'ll post up my progress here as i go along for everyone interested. So check back soon to see how close to completion it is.

Along side retexturing the blocks, i have started to tweak the GUI a little, simply to my personal preference. It\'s not much of a change, but i\'ll post an image when it\'s ready and let you see for yourselves.

Like everything else, if you want it, your welcome to it.

 

[plague180]

[MichaelSeph]

[cobra234]
